CHAPTER XVI

Chapter 16: The Real Murderer

Seeing Zhang Cainu's appearance, Hua Ying was almost laughed at angrily.

In front of so many people, he made the appearance of being terrified and broken down when he saw her.

Isn't she hinting to everyone that she is actually the murderer?

However, Zhang Cainu didn't expect that before everyone stepped into this room, Hua Ying took out evidence to prove her innocence.

Even Zhang Guifei understood that Zhang Cainu's behavior was suspicious, but she still remained silent.

first comforted her softly, calming her down before asking about the so-called course of the matter.

Then, Zhang Cainu told a story that Hua Ying sounded very ridiculous.

Wu Baolin wanted to see the fish, so Zhang Cainu accompanied her to the edge of the cold pool. The two of them chatted beside them, chatting and chatting until Lin Xiurong dared to contradict the gorgeous beauty.

Unexpectedly, Huamei was right behind them, and when he heard these words, he reprimanded them twice. Wu Baolin was not convinced, and the two argued. Huamei moved his hand, and the defenseless Wu Baolin stumbled and fell into the water.

After seeing Wu Baolin fall into the water, Huamei didn't stop doing anything and pushed her down.

Hua Ying heard Zhang Cainu's narration and felt that the story she made up sounded reasonable at first glance, but it was actually full of loopholes.

Did they come to the cold pool intentionally or unintentionally?

In the story, the timing of her appearance behind the two was too coincidental?

If it was really she who pushed the two down, from pushing people to escaping and then returning to the banquet, how could the time be in time? After all, as soon as the eunuch in charge found that someone had fallen into the water, he came to report it not long after.

These are the questions that not only she wanted, but most of the people present also wanted to know.

Zhang Cainu looked at the distrustful eyes of the people around her with tears in her eyes, she was very nervous, and she accidentally "fainted" when she was excited.

In this regard, the gentle Zhang Guifei didn't want to ask too much on her face, after all, Zhang Cainu had just woken up after falling into the water.

Faced with the stalemate of falling into the lake, Hua Ying suddenly had an idea.

An idea that will allow Zhang Cainu to tell the truth.

…………………………

In the next two days, Zhang Cainu was arranged to stay and recuperate in Binhu, and a palace maid was arranged for her to serve her, so that she could "recuperate" with peace of mind.

And no one ever came to ask Zhang Cainu about the two of them falling into the pool, as if this incident had never happened.

Zhang Cainu, who knows everything clearly, naturally can't take care of her body with peace of mind, after all, once the things she did are discovered, the consequences are very serious.

couldn't help it, and it didn't take long for her to knock on the side of the palace maid who was serving her:

"I'm not getting better from this illness, and I'm causing you trouble."

The palace maid responded obediently: "Niangniang's words are serious, this is what we should do."

"I don't know when I'll get better?" Zhang Cainu sighed, dark and lonely, and her face was full of worry.

In order to comfort her palace maid, she said happily: "Don't worry, the slave heard that the noble man who fell into the water with you has gradually improved after the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor." ”

Seeing that the sadness on her face was not dissipated, she continued to comfort:

"It's not long before I wake up."

"Your nobleman, this illness should be cured soon."

These words should have comforted Zhang Cainu, but when she heard it, her mind became even more confused.

Because Zhang Cainu had a ghost in her heart, when she heard this, her face immediately turned pale and her heart was panicked.

In the days that followed, the palace maid revealed some "good news" about Wu Baolin to her from time to time.

Zhang Cainu was worried that Wu Baolin would wake up and shake out what she had done; On the one hand, we must endure our worries and not let outsiders see them.

The two attacks were carried out, and they were worried about the day and night, and the whole person was haggard and in a trance.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Cainu had dinner and felt a little tired, and was crooked in bed.

Suddenly, Wu Baolin was wearing a thick cloak and a hood, looking like he was suffering from a serious illness and was unable to endure discomfort, and was supported by two palace maids and broke in.

As soon as he entered the door, Wu Baolin asked in a hoarse voice: "I treat you so well, why do you want to harm me." ”

The eerie wind blew the candles and swayed, and the dim light made Wu Baolin's chin exposed under the hood have a strange paleness, which made Zhang Cainu instantly think of the female ghost who asked for the soul.

"No...... Not me...... It has nothing to do with me. The frightened Zhang Cainu curled up in the quilt and shook helplessly.

Regarding her defense, Wu Baolin ignored it and asked even more poignantly: "It's not you!" How did I fall overboard and also lose my child. ”

"Yes...... It's that I didn't stand firm. "She's still an instinctive quibble.

Seeing her so stubborn, Wu Baolin could only say indignantly:

"It's you who pushed me down, what I experienced, you still dare to quibble, I'm going to tell Zhang Guifei!"

Thinking of the consequences of Zhang Guifei knowing about this incident, the wall in Zhang Nu's heart was instantly attacked.

"No, no...... No, sister, I beg you, I beg you, I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to push you, I have a hard time. ”

After saying that, she ran down from the bed barefoot and knelt at Wu Baolin's feet with tears in her eyes.

Zhang Cainu eagerly grabbed Wu Baolin with her hands, wanting to beg her for forgiveness.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, she found that Wu Baolin's whole body was paralyzed, and when she looked up again, Wu Baolin's eyes were closed and she didn't wake up at all.

Realize you've been fooled.

After that, Zhang Guifei and the others walked in from outside.

This idea was conceived by Hua Ying, first let the palace maid put pressure on Zhang Cainu step by step from her words, and then find a palace maid in the palace who is good at imitating other people's words to imitate Wu Baolin's voice.

When Zhang Cainu was restless, she couldn't see whether Wu Baolin, who was wearing a hood, was awake or not. Finally, let the palace maid support Wu Baolin and ask in her voice.

"Zhang Cainu, you might as well recruit from the truth!"

"The slave is innocent, the concubine... The concubine. Even so, Zhang Cainu is still struggling.

"We all heard it just now, and you confessed yourself."

Seeing that Zhang Cai's goddess color had loosened, Zhang Guifei further coaxed:

"And murdering the imperial heir is a first-class crime, if you don't recruit from the truth, your entire family will be affected by you."

Eventually, her mental defenses collapsed.

"It's Lin Xiurong! Lin Xiurong asked me to do it! ”

", you dare to bite me!" As soon as he heard this, Lin Xiurong immediately burst into a rage and stretched out his hand to pull her.

The palace maid on the side pulled her very much.

Seeing the furious Lin Xiurong, the talented girl calmed down and said:

"After Lin Xiurong found out that Wu Baolin was pregnant, she was always jealous and wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of her."

After Niangniang set up a feast on today's lake, Lin Xiurong said that she knew that there was a cold pool on the island, which was unfathomable. Let me lead Wu Baolin here, and then push her down while she is unprepared. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Cainu, who already had tears in her eyes, turned around:

"But before landing on the island, the Huamei offended Lin Xiurong, and Lin Xiurong was very angry and decided to take this opportunity to solve the Huamei together."

"After coming to the Hantan, Wu Baolin noticed something, and we quarreled."

"Who would have thought that after I pushed her down, her cries for help attracted the people cleaning next to her."

"In order to clear my suspicion, I jumped myself."

Seeing that Zhang Cainu had already told everything to her, Lin Xiurong fell into complete madness.

"You lie, this slut, you dare to frame me."

After saying everything, Zhang Cainu's tears had dried up and her eyes were red and she looked at Lin Xiurong, with bitter hatred in them, and said through gritted teeth:

"Niangniang, everything was ordered by Lin Xiurong, and she threatened me with my relatives outside the palace."

After speaking, he rushed to the wall on the side, everyone was unprepared, and when they reacted, they saw a "bang" sound and blood flowers all over the wall......

The palace maid stepped forward to check, but saw the corners of her mouth moving slightly, as if to say: I'm sorry.
